1742928 - Test xpcom/tests/unit/test_localfile.js/test_file_creation_time is disabled and failing

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: XPCOM, defect, P3)

Description

[Jari Jalkanen]

Test xpcom/tests/unit/test_localfile.js/test_file_creation_time is disabled.

When enabled, line 178, Assert.ok(creationTime === file.lastModifiedTime); is triggered, it turns out there is a 10 ms delay which is more than (now - creationTime) before the assert (tested on Windows.)

Before fixing the test, it should be investigated whether the test is correct or if there is something unexpected with the implementation.

Additionally, if the test is correct, would be better to use Assert.equals(creationTime, file.lastModifiedTime) to get more information on failure.

Bug 1660841 introduced this, so adding a "regressed by" as that seems most appropraite, also cc'ing Barret who implemented it.

Note that bug 1762749 is enabling this test for mac-only as it passes there.

:barret, since you are the author of the regressor, bug 1660841, could you take a look?

The patch landed in nightly and beta is affected.
:barret, is this bug important enough to require an uplift?
If not please set status_beta to wontfix.

Declining the uplift due to a dependency on a test suite that caused this not to graft cleanly in beta.
